drinking well, this is a decadent wine that is almost jammy...it walks up to that fine line and doesn't cross it. Purple fruit, gamey with smokey notes that provide balance and get you thinking, even if it's not the most terroir driven wine you'll try. Silky. There was a touch of effervescence, as mentioned in an older note, that quickly blew off.

Slighly effervescent upon first opening, a lot of acid that made the wine angular and unbalanced. This resolved itself for the most part within 30 minutes, and moreso after an hour. A decent wine, but I expect more from this vineyard. C+
